Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Step: Place chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Step: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
- Step: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken.
- Step: Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp should be at least 165°F).
- Step: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry, then stir it into the sauce in the slow cooker.

Notes
For a thicker sauce, let it simmer with the lid slightly ajar for a few more minutes after adding the cornstarch slurry. You can double the sauce if you like extra to pour over rice or veggies!
